suzy2qtee - 2014-09-19 8:56 AM I have been known to put smaller kids less than 50 pounds on one here and there... but 100 pounds only if it was on and off less than 5- 10 mins

 
I have memories of being the crash test dummy as a child. :)  We pulled them all in as yearlings, taught them to lead, then I was thrown up there and was led to the end of the road and back.  I was thrown off a few times, but someone was always close to catch me.  
As a parent I can only shake my head at this.
Then you'd probably pass clear out if you knew what kind of stuff we did as kids

You got that right, in our days we didnt have a computer/video games and stayed out side all day long and half the night playing, awww the good old days. 
The yearlings I had and raised and they were long yearlings and were not for sale, I would hop up on them while they were eating their feed and just tinker around with them, but now aday's no I would not hop up on one at my age and too heavy. And my yearling's died on my place at a right old age.

Location: Heart of Texas		I suggest, if you really like the horse, have a pre-purchase exam. Go with your gut. If you have a bad feeling, walk away. If the exam goes well, you feel confident, move forward. They were honest with you, take it for what it's worth. Look at their other horses. Plenty of people have waited to ride a horse till they were 2 and have done far more damage.
